That is pretty much just a standard warning for Americans traveling to the Middle East. It is just a reminder to keep your eyes out and watch out for your safety. It's no secret that Americans/Westerners are targets for certain terrorist organizations. So it is more of a warning to be careful in your travels.

Have a great time in Doha.

hmm i feel comfortable here that i am not ready to go back home as yet......take it with a pinch of salt , for us we take it as an adventure like we did when we lived in the cornfields in ILL when we were there once upon a time , or like when we lived in Myanmar and thailand. life is filled with adventures either you like it or you dont.......is even better than reading abt it fr a book so to speak.......(ok ok i ;ve said too much already)welcome to doha for whenever ya get here.......

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

Hi, It is safe here- but one should not forget where we are and there is a potential of bad things happening, people saying otherwise don't know what they are talking about.
But on a Day to day basis it is safer than any town in the US and Europe.
